Achieve Nerdvana at the Big Nerd Ranch

We’re not ashamed to say it, we love nerds. And we’re always on the lookout for the best and brightest around.

Be aware: Knowledge is the head honcho around here. And smart, kind folks who want to make the world a little better through bad-ass development are the only nerds we need.

So bring us your brilliant, hard-working brain! Your elegant non-leaky code! Your crazy passion for training, consulting and writing about cutting edge code! (Can you tell we get excited about finding new nerds to join our team?) We’ll see if we can carve out a nice little spot for you amongst our nerds-in-residence.

Android Developer

At Big Nerd Ranch we specialize in developing business-building mobile and web apps for our clients. We then teach students what we’ve learned through our signature immersive bootcamps, and every year we release new books in our best-selling series of Big Nerd Ranch Guides.

How do we do it? It’s all our people -- we only hire the best. And then we live our values of being brilliant, kind, and hardworking.

We’re looking for Nerds who are as passionate as we are about writing stylish code on the most exciting platforms. Engineers who want to be amongst the smartest, kindest people they know.
